What's On The Way

A severe and dangerous storm is slamming us here on the Cape. 20+ inches expected. 70 MPH winds. Total white out. Power company saying could be days before electric is back up. Times like these I harken back to a song I wrote to remind myself that...every ting goan be awwite.

Intro w harp

Finally catch a warm day 

Cold wind off the water blew away

Long wait see the summer’s face

Long wait for just a little taste 

Of what’s on the wayyyy   What’s on the wayyyyyy

Break w harp 


You know life’s a little teasing thing

If you finally get it then you’ll know what it means

To crack a smile and syncopate

Heavy laughing at the end of the pain

That’s what’s on the wayyyy   What’s on the wayyyyyy


There’s a shine way up high

And underneath it a big blue sky

And below that a pretty girl’s smile

And she’s going out and play like a child


Gonna storm hard tomorrow 

Might just blow us all away

But not if the scene in your mind 

Sees it all get better in time


Thats what’s on the way   What’s on the wayyyyyy

Break w harp  


What’s that coming towards us on the wing

Something that the whole world is craving         

Keep watch so we can always see

The precious bird of liberty

That’s what’s on the wayyyy   That’s what’s on the wayyyyyy

 

Not done not gone not wrong

Keep watch keep smiling on

Don’t hide and don’t run

Underneath the new day’s dawn


From what’s on the wayyyyyy      

From what’s on the wayyyyyy

What’s on the wayyyyyy

    somethings always coming at ya. 😁

    nice tune. good playing , you do it all siamotainously? That takes skill and coordination. 👍️

    There is something fun about a big snow storm. Especially if you live in the country, in the city its a pain.

  • Hey my great northern friend, yeah I'm guessing you know about snow storms. I'm with ya I love the snow, I'm a big skier. But chit 20" here on the beach, blizzard conditions, power out for multiple days...comin atcha big time. Yes I wrote and did prolly did 5-6 takes on the song before a final. I'm wearing an around the neck harp holder and recorded it on my iPhone. Thank you so much for listening and your kind words. Now if I can just keep the generator going until dawn😅

  • That's one way to own a song and put feeling into it. have to disagree with the snow. it's sucks, especially if you have 150' of driveway that needs to be cleared and you don't have a plow 😂

  • Ya mon can be a big pain in the wazoo and I got a 500 ft drive. This happened back in 2015, and here it is again. like the man sayed, always sumpin comin atch. Hey thanks buddy for listening...and I really appreciate your words. And hey...ebery ting goan be vine😁

  • 20+ inches expected. 70 MPH winds. Total white out.? Wow. Stay safe man. That is serious territory.

    I like your lyric. Especially that Bridge.

    I'm less keen on the vocal melody for this one. It felt a little less defined than usual to me, kind of drifting a bit. But that's just an opinion, and it may only be mine!!

    Guitar and harp work is really nice though. Sharp.

  • Power just came back up. 18" on the ground. Trees down everywhere. Sounds like a song...thanks Owen

  • Glad to hear you're ok!

  • Sounds like a lot of fun. keep on doing it.

    Love it!


    BTW, I answered your question you left on my thread.

  • Happens every year and were still surprised on mother natures fury


    Sounds great man
